"Petersen therapy is across the street from our office. They send us faxes with seasonal trivia and asking us to refer patients. This one came on Thursday. The fax date stamp (March 24, 2011) is at the top."

Thank you, Kelly!

Note- for my non-North American readers, Thanksgiving is celebrated in the Fall.

I always wondered about the timing of Easter (Christian death and resurrection)with other springtime fertility celebrations. I mean, really -- rabbits and eggs? Could it be more obvious? I could never get our Rector (I was raised Episcopalian) to bite on that one. He knew I was a smart-assed snot-nosed kid.

Maybe someone should be thankful for chicken eggs? Or, should be happy to celebrate the holiday of giving eggs like pagans? Personally, I like my eggs over easy, on an English muffin. And, I am Catholic. (I always laugh about a democratic Catholic calling someone else from my perspective a 'pagan' when from their perspective I am probably thought of as a ritualistic zealot!)
